Man watches a bigfoot in his headlights near Flaming Gorge

The witness was driving at night on a mountain pass when headlights caught eye reflections high off the ground. The witness stopped, backed up to illuminate an animal standing near the road, initially thinking it was a bear but concluding it was not based on its hair and walk. The animal stayed calm and walked slowly into the trees, covering ground quickly despite the truck noise. The witness left without approaching and later searches for tracks were unsuccessful.

Eerie and scary screams heard

The witness was woken by distant dogs barking in a wooded area and then noticed strange sounds first mistaken for radio noise. After opening a window, the sounds were described as like a distressed human yell but judged to be non-human and unlike cougar, coyote, or a full elk bugle, with a high stopped tone followed by a pause and low sound. The witness listened from the window for about two minutes before returning to bed as the sounds faded.
